Jonny Gray – Exeter Chiefs (3)

The Exeter lock enjoyed a prosperous opening game of this season’s competition, running in a hat-trick of tries as his team brushed aside Montpellier Hérault Rugby.

Gray crossed three times in less than 20 second-half minutes as he flew to the summit of the try-scorer charts, and though he was unable to add to his tally against Glasgow Warriors in Round 1, his efforts against Montpellier see him remain joint top.

Prior to this season’s opener, the Scotland international had scored just five tries in 42 European Cup appearances.

Wenceslas Lauret – Racing 92 (3)

Another opening round hat-trick scorer was flanker Lauret, who was in electrifying form against Northampton Saints as Racing thrashed their Pool A opponents 45-15.

The 32-year-old produced an all action display as he crossed on seven minutes, 41 minutes and 63 minutes to cement himself as one of this season’s early leading try-scorers.

Lauret’s fruitful evening was also somewhat of a surprise – he had managed just five tries in 69 appearances in European competitions.

Alex Dombrandt – Harlequins (3)

The No.8 has enjoyed impressive displays across Quins’ opening two games of this season’s Heineken Champions Cup, notching his first try as the Gallagher Premiership side edged out Castres Olympique 20-18 in Round 1.

The England international then helped Quins click into gear against a stubborn Cardiff Rugby team in Round 2, scoring a 10-minutes brace in the second half as they cruised to a 43-17 win.

Dombrandt is perhaps more accustomed to getting over the whitewash than Gray and Lauret, as he now has 10 tries in 13 match in European competitions.

After a series of big performances across the opening two rounds of the Heineken Champions Cup, we’ve taken a look at who is currently leading the way in the try-scorer charts.
